Beers I Drunk In Wetherspoons October Beer Festival
During October Spoons had their beer festival (9th to 20th) and these were the beers (from a selection of 40) that I tried -
Hook Norton Steaming On 3.8 % ABV - a light golden session ale.
Arkells 3B 4.0 % ABV - a ruby coloured ale that I found disappointing and bland.
Cotleigh 40 Years 4.3 % ABV - a fruity pale ale.
Birrificio Argo Terzo Tempo 4.4 % ABV - Italian ale that has a creamy malty flavour to it. Very quaffable!
Belhaven Barn Dancer 4.5 % ABV - a Scottish brown ale of deliciousness!
Wadworth JD Boss Hog 4.7 % ABV - fruity spicy pale ale with grapefruit finish.
Brewster's Punk Is Dead 4.8 % ABV - hoppy amber fruity ale.
Alesmith Nut Brown 5.0 % ABV - from California this was a highlight. Malt, chocolate and toasty flavours in this smooth dark ale.
Greene King Ruby Abbott 5.2 % ABV - Ruby coloured rich malty ale.
Theakstons Old Peculiar 5.6 % ABV - Still one of my faves. Dark ruby beer with cherry and rich fruit overtones.
Ballistic Short Fuse 6.5 % ABV - from Queensland Australia, this strong golden IPA was my top fave beer! A complex fruit bowl of apricot, mango and pineapple notes in this solid bitter and well-hopped beer. Outstanding!
And there you go.
